Herman Cain said Tuesday he doesn't know Sharon Bialek, who on Monday publicly accused the GOP presidential candidate of groping her and making an unwanted sexual advance in 1997. And he said the Chicago-area woman is lying when she accuses him of inappropriate behavior.
"I can categorically say I have never acted inappropriately with anyone. Period," Mr. Cain said in an online interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl. He added later, "In this particular case, I don't even know who this lady is." He also said: "And as far as these latest charges. I don't' even remember. I reject all of these charges."
When Mr. Karl asked if he thought Ms. Bialek is lying, Mr. Cain responded, "Yes. I am saying that in as nice a way as I can."

The back of my ankle has been quite painful in the last couple of days, and seems to be getting worse. I do stretches after a run, but don't know if I'm doing the right ones to help this problem. Any ideas?

Is it your achilles tendon that is hurting? I'm no expert but having had achilles tendonitus I would say REST REST and more REST! As well as the usual ice packs and so on.

It could well be, if it is what would have been the cause, too much running?

When I first started running I got terrible pains in my knees and ankles despite stretching and good warm ups. The problem appeared to lie in my old cross training trainers not minimising the impact on my joints. A new running pair, with extra cushioning and a pair of x socks have done the trick and I have been ploding pain free ever since.

Lil, did you stop running when suffering from the pains. I don't want to give up something I'm enjoying. My trainers may need replacing, but they're not particularly old and were recommended by a speacialist shop, who watched the way I ran to inform their decision.

I think stretching is also very important, before and after training.
I sought help from a fitness instructor in my gym about how to stretch properly. I would advice you to get some advice from some suitably qualified.
Like Lil' Roo, suggested the problem may also lay in what trainers you are running in. Again, seek expert advice.
Hope the problem clears up quickly for u.

Bumpkin, like NY says get specialist advice. I din't run when I was suffering from the pains, I temporarily gave up and swam instead because I was concerned about doing some permenant damage. Specialist advice should be able to pinpoint your problem.
All the best!

Have a look at your trainers - could be that they are a bit high at the back of your ankle and dig into the achilles tendon when you run.
What sort are you running in? Are you wearing socks that may also be pressing into your ankle from the pressure of the shoes?

Do you wake up feeling very tight in the achilles area ? and find yourself walking like an old man/woman ?
Do you take steps (going down) one at a time because of the discomfort ?
If so, almost certainly achilles. DO NOT RUN ON THEM if it is, as you will definitely make things worse and end up being off for much longer.
Get them checked by a doctor/physio asap, then take their advice to sort the problem out.

Have a similar problem to yours. Started running about 5 months ago and am hoping to run my first half marathon in 5 weeks time.About a week ago the pain in my left ankle started and was diagnosed as achilles tendonitis. Have had a few rest days and managed 4 miles last night. I am hoping to slowly increase my mileage but am obviously feeling pressured by the impending race. I can't say I'm painfree when running but wearing heel-pads ( from the physio) and an ankle support have helped.
I just really hope I will overcome this to run in 5 weeks.

Good Luck with that pink, and don't do too much! I've been resting and thought it might have been ok, but the pain started again. I've got an appointment with a physio in a few weeks though.

Bad luck bumpkin,
let's hope you get it sorted soon. I managed 5 miles last night which I am really pleased about. Am now going to take a couple of rest days and will try for 7-8 on saturday.
The advice from my physio ( might help):
Stop running as soon as the pain is more than a 2 ( on a scale of 1-10); have more rest days ( I was only having one rest day a week), achilles stretches!! and try wearing heel pads ( which I didn't last night and it was my first almost painfree run!). I have also started to cross-train ( swimming).
Hope this helps. Sounds so depressing when you read through the forums and some people have suffered for months>

Hello, Country Bumpkin
I sympathise cos I have dodgy achilles too with plantar faciitis in my left foot. It was brought on by a change in my training - I'd introduced more hills and speed work. I saw a podiatrist last week who told me that the problems stem from my tight calfs which are restricting my dorsa flexion (ie, bending my ankle upwards). I've been given a load of stretches to do and should see an improvement in 2-4 weeks. Heel pads are a good idea too cos they give you a few mm of extra lift. To give you a wee bit of positivity, I've been doing my stretches for a week now and I do feel a reduction in pain and my left foot isn't as hobbly as it used to be.
Hope you get better soon!

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a pain in my ankle/achilles area, which hurts when I point my toes rather than when I pull them back so I don't think it is an achilles problem. When I point my toes, it hurts the achilles tendon as it is compressed and in the soft bit between the achilles tendon and the ankle bone.
any ideas what this could be and how I can treat it?

Excuse the fact I'm not technically minded, but there's something like a tendon that runs from your toes to your heels (told you I'm not technical) which might be causing you pain. A good stretch is to sit with bare feet on the floor & try to raise your toes & heel at same time. Best to do several times like any stretch.
It'll hurt at first but as it strengthens n lengthens the pain in your heel should go.
it's worth a try.
Darren Bailey
12/10/2004 at 14:46
Thanks for the reply. If I sit on the floor with my legs out straight, I can pull my toes back OK without pain, but when I point them away, it hurts in the back of my ankle, and also I can't point the bad foot as far as the good one.
Any other ideas anyone?

Good question Darren, I suspect you have something similar to me. I too have pain on pointing my toes but deeper into the back of ankle than achilles. Pain is particularly bad if I point toes and push the base of my heel into the joint. I'm undergoing sports massage to loosen my calf muscles and physio to resolve the problem(laser/infrared and acupuncture). Nothing seems to be working though. The physio thinks it's a compressed bursor in my ankle but does anyone else have any ideas??

heroin-trafficking and the country has been successfully marketed as the
idealised Oriental paradise: exotic, beautiful, warm, welcoming and
But lately things have gone wrong. In November, polit=
protesters occupied and closed Bangkok airport, turning Thailand from the
"land of smiles" of tourist brochures into a vale of tears for
stranded holidaymakers. International human rights groups are criticising t=
country for its treatment of refugees and for its use of
lèse-majesté laws to harass and imprison critics of the Thai
monarchy. And now, to top it all, there is an economic crisis.
And so it was that, last month, Abhisit Vejjajiva, 44,
the country's brilliant and boyish new leader, arrived at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to do some emergency marketing for his
Abhisit became prime minister in December. Since he i=
s young,
good-looking and well-educated, he has inevitably been called
"Thailand's Barack Obama". But unlike the US president,
Abhisit has not emerged from virtually nowhere.
I lived in Thailand from 1992-1995, when Abhisit, the=
n a
newly elected Bangkok MP, was already in the high-profile post of Democrat
party spokesman and was being talked of as a future national leader.
In fact, Abhisit's cv makes him sound mo=
like a potential prime minister of Britain than of Thailand. He was born in
1964 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in northern England and sighs that "this =
condemned me to supporting Newcastle United", a chronically unsuccess=
football team. He comes from a prominent family of Thai-Chinese origin and =
father, who later became a health minister in Thailand, studied medicine at
Guy's Hospital in London. Abhisit was sent to Eton College, Britain=
poshest school and a traditional breeding ground for prime ministers.
Abhisit then went on to Oxford University, where he g=
ot a
first-class degree in politics, philosophy and economics, before going on t=
o do
a masters in economics. He returned to Thailand and lectured in economics a=
t an
elite Thai university before going into politics full-time. He became Democ=
party leader in 2005.
It would have been nice to share a dish of phad Thai =
Abhisit in the local Thai restaurant in Davos, which was celebrating his pr=
at the forum by draping itself in the red, white and blue flag of Thailand =
putting out a large banner, proclaiming, "Welcome to our prime
But prime ministers work on tight schedules and so it=
our fate to share a snack in an antiseptic basement room in the resort̵=
Congress Centre. The forum's harassed media staff have done their bes=
t to
jolly up the place. They have provided us with two cream-coloured leather
chairs, a potted plant and a coffee table, with some snacks on it.
Abhisit, immaculately dressed in a grey suit and
waistcoat, with a pale blue shirt and black tie with white stripes, looks
slightly doubtful at the array of lurid pastries and curled sandwiches plac=
before him. I explain that our conversation is meant to take place against a
background of eating and drinking. "OK. I will comply," he says.
But he makes no movement towards the food.
Married with two children, Abhisit is regarded as a
"housewife's favourite" in Thailand. Slight and fine-feat=
with large eyes, he looks a bit like the lead singer in a boy band. And,
indeed, when his mobile phone goes off, the ringtone is an expansive guitar
chord. It sounds a bit like U2 but the prime minister puts me right. "=
he says firmly.
Thai politics can seem farcical and sinister, by turn=
On the farcical side, one of Abhisit's recent predecessors as prime
minister, Samak Sundaravej, was forced to resign after accepting payments f=
guest appearances on a TV cookery show. On the sinister side, Abhisit'=
biggest political rival, Thaksin Shinawatra, a telecoms mogul who became pr=
minister, stands accused by human rights groups of licensing widespread
extra-judicial killing as part of a "war on drugs" in 2003. (Ha=
been ousted in a 2006 coup, Thaksin again came to prominence when he bought
Manchester City football club in 2007 and sold it a year later).
Abhisit has long campaigned for cleaner and more lawf=
politics in Thailand. In the late 1990s, he oversaw the government's
counter-corruption commission. But he has come to power in difficult and
ambiguous circumstances. A group called the People's Alliance for
Democracy (Pad) accuses the previous government of being controlled by prox=
for Thaksin, and it was Pad supporters who unleashed chaos in November by
occupying Bangkok airport and government offices.
Abhisit condemned the demonstrators but they effectiv=
paralysed the government and created the conditions for Abhisit to be voted=
as prime minister by parliament. Critics also pointed to the role of the Th=
military in manipulating events to ease Abhisit's way to the top. The
whole episode tarnished his democratic credentials.
Thailand is also attracting international condemnation
for its treatment of Rohingya refugees, a Muslim minority group from
neighbouring Burma, hundreds of whom make the dangerous journey to Thailand=
rickety boats. The Thai military has been accused of forcing them back to s=
without engines or adequate supplies, possibly causing hundreds of deaths.
Although many of the incidents took place before Abhisit came to power, the
most recent group was picked up at sea last month. Abhisit has promised a f=
investigation, but the publicity has been damaging. Sitting in my briefcase=
an editorial from that day's Economist magazine, accusing Thailand of
"astoundingly callous" behaviour.
To top it all, Abhisit has come to power during a big
economic crisis. Since we are meeting at the World Economic Forum, I start =
that. The prime minister makes no attempt to play down the gravity of the
situation. "The last few financial crises the world has faced we̵=
seen in particular regions, in particular countries, which means that you c=
tap into the resources of the other major economies to help smooth the cris=
and get the world economy through. Now who do you look to?"
Thailand, he says, is facing a "twin crisisR=
The country has been "consumed with the political crisis that has been
ongoing for two or three years. And now this economic crisis".
No stranger to economic turmoil, the country was one =
the original Asian economic tigers, regularly notching up growth of 8 to 9 =
cent a year in the 1980s and early 1990s. But in 1997, investors lost
confidence, there was a run on the Thai currency and the country became the
first victim of the Asian economic crisis.
Abhisit, who had done his Oxford thesis on IMF rescue
programmes, now had to witness the IMF being called in to save the Thai
economy. As part of the government that had to implement the rescue, he was=
particularly impressed by the fund's performance. His thesis had argu=
that the fund tended to insist on interest rates that were too high and he
feels his criticism was amply borne out. "We went through a lot of
unnecessary pain," he says sorrowfully.
So now that there is a global financial crisis, can t=
world learn from what happened in Thailand?
"Sure. I think a few lessons are absolutely vit=
The first is that you need to move fast and I know it's always politi=
difficult when you have to decide to use taxpayers' money. But if you=
it slow, you won't get the job done, and you'll be asked to do =
again. And as you go to the second and third and fourth rounds, it's =
more politically difficult."
Speaking softly and urgently, the prime minister is
warming to his theme. Despite his promise to eat a World Economic Forum pas=
he has still made no move towards the food. In an effort to encourage him, I
take a bite of a cheese sandwich. Frowning with concentration, Abhisit move=
s on
to his second point about the economy.
"So much focus will be on how to clean up the
financial system and it's no use cleaning up everything only to find =
the real economy has gone down. And another lesson is that even if you clea=
n up
the banks they won't necessarily resume lending. So you need addition=
mechanisms and measures to make sure that there is liquidity for what are,
essentially, good businesses. But if you cut off liquidity, almost all good
businesses become bad ones."
All this talk of liquidity prompts me to pour myself a
coffee. I gesture weakly towards the silver-plated Thermos flask but Abhisi=
t is
not to be deflected.
"[It's] very important not to lose sight =
the developing world. All developing economies are now being affected. And I

He is talking fast and seems strangely indifferent to=

many, many years?" I muse. "Is there anything good to say about

but he looks incredulous and slightly amused. It occurs to me that it is a =
time since I have lived in Thailand. Perhaps this is a very silly question
– a bit like asking George W Bush to list some of Saddam Hussein̵=
better qualities.
Still, the question has the effect of temporarily
disturbing Abhisit's composure. For the first time, he glances down at
the food. "Let me have some coffee," he says. He takes a sip,
before gamely attempting an answer. "Well, he has a modern outlook, s=
o he
gives a sense that he is modern, and with him being in the communications a=
the IT business gives that feel. And he moves quickly ... But I've al=
said that despite that modern outlook he certainly doesn't appreciate=
true values of these times, which is all about human rights, participation,
true democracy, transparency and good governance."
I change the subject to a politician who is more
congenial, his old school friend from Eton, Boris Johnson, who is now mayor=
London. Johnson stayed with Abhisit in Thailand, in their year off between
school and university, and the two have remained close. I ask whether they =
both always harboured political ambitions. Abhisit says: "I had expec=
Boris to go into politics but he's a character so it was never going =
be a smooth ride for him. But all credit to him that he's used his
character and is sticking to being his true self and getting to where he is
today." Johnson has boasted that he is the only British politician who
knows how to spell "Vejjajiva". At Eton, the future prime minis=
was frequently referred to as "Veggie" for short.
Whatever the difficulties of running London, it seems
fair to say that Abhisit's political challenges are considerably more
daunting than those facing his old school pal. As we speak, the PM's
aides are monitoring the progress of anti-government demonstrations in Bang=
Abhisit must somehow find a way to remain true to his
beliefs in democracy and the rule of law, without antagonising the powerful
forces that stand behind him or plunging Thailand into a new political cris=
When pressed on military power in Thailand, he treads carefully.
And when I ask about the treatment of refugees, a hin=
t of
steel comes into his voice for the first time. "Let's get that
straight – they're not refugees, they're just illegal
migrants." He insists, however, that human rights abuses cannot be
tolerated, adding: "The army chief has said that if any of the office=
are involved in these things, they should be punished. I think that's
quite a significant change." When I ask whether he thinks Thailand st=
has work to do, in reducing the power of the military in politics, he repli=
quietly. "Yes, I do. And every time my party [the Democrats] have bee=
n in
power, we've tried to do that."
He is also firm in his defence of Thailand's ri=
to prosecute critics of the monarchy, comparing the lèse-majest&eacu=
laws to contempt of court laws in Britain, which are designed to protect an
institution that is "politically neutral and supposed to be above
conflict". But there is also a note of qualification. Abhisit says:
"I recognise sometimes the law is abused. And there may also be press=
for the law to be liberally interpreted. I will try to find ways of fixing
that." He says that he has already spoken to the relevant authorities
about his concerns. It is not clear, however, that the "relevant
authorities" will listen to the new prime minister, posing an early t=
to his authority.
Our lunch is coming to a close and I have failed in p=
of my mission. Abhisit has not touched his sandwiches. But his aides are ke=

Mechanism-specific effects of adenosine on atrial tachycardia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8205677 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest that adenosine, in addition to terminating supraventricular tachycardia involving the atrioventricular (AV) node, may have antiarrhythmic effects on atrial tachycardia. The electrophysiological effects of adenosine on supraventricular tissue include shortening of action potential duration in atrial myocytes mediated by the potassium current, IKACh,Ado; shortening of action potential duration and hyperpolarization in sinus node cells; and anti-adrenergic electrophysiological effects resulting from inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. We therefore hypothesized that the response of atrial tachycardia to adenosine would be mechanism specific, with termination of atrial tachycardia due to sinus node reentry or cAMP-mediated triggered activity, transient suppression of automatic atrial tachycardia, and an absence of antiarrhythmic effect on tachycardia due to intraatrial reentry. METHODS AND RESULTS: Adenosine (mean +/- SD, 143 +/- 54 micrograms/kg IV) was administered to 27 patients (55 +/- 19 years) in atrial tachycardia whose mechanism was confirmed by electrophysiological study. Adenosine terminated sinus node reentrant tachycardia in 6 of 6 patients and terminated atrial tachycardia due to triggered activity in the 1 patient in whom it was identified. Adenosine transiently suppressed automatic atrial tachycardia in 7 of 7 patients and had no effect in 13 patients with intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia, including 8 patients with atrial flutter. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that adenosine's effects on atrial tachycardia are mechanism specific and can be used to differentiate between reentrant tachycardia confined to the region of the sinus node or atria and between nonreentrant atrial tachycardia due to either triggered activity or automaticity. |

morgan zarate - Broken Heart Collector
Smart, future-facing R&B constructions from Morgan Zarate. A step away from the advanced boogie of his previous 12"s, the main course of this meal comes over like a conscious response to the epic, cloud-wreathed beats of Clams Casino, Keyboard Kid, et al, and some of their more commercial cousins too. 'BHC' combines gaseous, almost 4AD-style ambience with clambering arpeggios and boss 808 smacks, while the vocal version, 'Broken Heart Collector' seeks the pop sublime with the help of vocalist Stevie Neale. 'Crey Bey' is another surprise, a souped-up, drugged-out and hacked-to-fuck revision of classic 8-bar grime, all hollowed-out Eski synths and machine gunning snares - a good look.

Atorvastatin to Prevent Avascular Necrosis of Bone in Steroid Treated Exacerbated Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

- How to Read a Study Record
This study uses the cholesterol lowering drug atorvastatin, also known as lipitor, to show reduction of avascular necrosis in steroid treated lupus patients. Avascular necrosis is a disease resulting from the loss of blood supply to the bones which can cause the bone to collapse. The collapse of bone may require a surgical replacement of the joint and can be disabling for life. Avascular necrosis is presently not preventable but research has shown that lipid lowering drugs such as lipitor can reduce or prevent avascular necrosis in animals. We therefore hypothesize that lipitor will reduce the incidence of avascular necrosis in lupus patients taking high dose steroids.

Museo Soumaya that has just opened to the public in late March houses one of the most important art collections in Latin America with over 6,200 artworks and 60,000 square feet of exhibition space.
The Soumaya Museum is located in a former industrial zone dating from the 1940's which today presents a very high real-estate potential. The Soumaya Museum should play a key role in the reconversion of the area; as a preeminent cultural landmark, it is sought upon as catalyst for changing the preconceived image of the neighborhood.
FALLINGWATEREdited by Lynda Waggoner
The shell of the building is constructed with 28 steel curved columns of different diameters, each with its own geometry and shape, offering the visitor a soft non-linear circulation all through the building. Located at each floor level, seven ring beams provide a system that braces the structure and guarantees its stability.
The top floor is the most generous space of the museum; its roof is suspended from an impressive cantilever that allows natural daylight to flow in freely. In contrast, the building's envelope is nearly opaque, offering little and scarce openings to the outside. This gesture can be interpreted as an intention to create a protected shelter for the art collection. The façade is made of hexagonal aluminum modules that optimize the preservation and durability of the entire building.

Murder of Adam Walsh
Adam Walsh | |
Adam Walsh, son of America's Most Wanted host John Walsh c. 1981
Born | Hollywood, Florida, United States |
November 14, 1974
Died | July 27, 1981 Hollywood, Florida, United States |
(aged 6)
Adam John Walsh (November 14, 1974 – July 27, 1981) was an American boy who was abducted from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida, on July 27, 1981, and later found murdered and decapitated. His death earned national publicity. His story was made into the 1983 television film Adam, seen by 38 million people in its original airing.[1] His father, John Walsh, became an advocate for victims of violent crimes and the host of the television program America's Most Wanted.[2]
Convicted serial killer Ottis Toole confessed to Adam's murder but was never convicted for this specific crime due to loss of evidence and a recanted confession. Toole died of liver failure on September 15, 1996.[3] Although no new evidence has come forth, on December 16, 2008, police announced that the Walsh case was now closed as they were satisfied that Toole was the murderer.
Case history[edit]
Kidnapping and murder[edit]
Revé, Adam's mother, took him shopping with her in a Hollywood, Florida, Sears department store on July 27, 1981. She said that she stopped to check out lamps a few aisles away and left him at a kiosk with Atari 2600 video games on display. Shortly afterwards, she said that she returned to find that he and the other boys had disappeared. A store manager informed her that a scuffle had broken out over whose turn it was at the kiosk and a security guard demanded that they leave the store. The security guard asked the older ones if their parents were there, and they said that they were not.[4] It was later conjectured by Adam's parents that he was too shy to speak to the security guard, who presumed that he was in the company of the other boys, and put him out the same door. Based upon Revé's claim that he was in the store with her, it was conjectured that he was then left alone near an exit that was unfamiliar to him.[4][5]
Adam's severed head was found by two fishermen in a Vero Beach, Florida, canal on August 10, 1981. The rest of his body has never been recovered.[3] The coroner ruled that the cause of his death was asphyxiation and that the decapitation had occurred later, perhaps to render his remains unidentifiable or the cause of his death indeterminable.[citation needed]
John himself was considered by authorities as a prime suspect as the police investigation started to become exhausted. After about a week, he was later absolved of any foul play following a highly emotional press statement that was televised nationally.[citation needed]
Police eventually concluded that Adam was abducted by a drifter named Ottis Toole near the front exterior of the Sears that afternoon, after being asked to leave by a store clerk. He lured Adam into his Cadillac with a damaged right bumper with promises of toys and candy, then proceeded to drive north on Interstate 95 toward his home in Jacksonville. Adam, at first docile and compliant, began to panic as they drove on. Toole punched him in the face, but as this just made the situation worse, he then "walloped him unconscious" and proceeded to choke him to death. He drove to a deserted service road and decapitated him with a machete. Toole later claimed to have disposed of Adam's body by incinerating it in an old refrigerator when he returned to Jacksonville. He drove around with Adam's severed head in his car for a few days until remembering it was in there, and then threw it into a canal. He claimed that he wanted to make Adam his adopted son, but given the close relationship he had with loving parents, this was not very feasible. The police investigation of his abduction was alleged to be unsatisfactory, and they lost the bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the machete used to decapitate Adam, and eventually, the car itself. In any case, DNA testing was in a rudimentary state in the early 1980s and it was not possible then to determine the source of the blood found in the Cadillac.[3]
Toole, allegedly a confidante of convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, repeatedly confessed and then retracted accounts of his involvement. He was never charged in the Walsh case, even though he provided seemingly accurate descriptions as to how he committed the crime. Several witnesses also place him in the Hollywood area in the days leading up to Adam's disappearance. Police investigated him for Adam's murder but lost important evidence in the case, including the bloodstained carpet from his Cadillac.[3] In September 1996, he died in prison, aged 49, of cirrhosis while serving a life sentence for other crimes.[4] Afterwards, his niece told John that her uncle made a deathbed confession to the murder of Adam.[4][6] His confession was viewed as reliable, since he and Lucas confessed to or implicated themselves in more than 200 different homicides, most of which they accurately described with details only the culprit would know.[7]
In 1997, Hollywood Police Chief Rick Stone conducted an exhaustive review of the Adam Walsh case after the release of John's book. At the time, Stone was a 22-year veteran of the Dallas, Texas, and Wichita, Kansas, police departments and had been appointed Hollywood's chief of police in the previous year. Although the crime was decades old at the time of Chief Stone's review, he provided an analysis of the evidence, including reviewing taped interrogations of Toole by Hollywood Police Detective Mark Smith. Stone says his review found evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Toole murdered Adam. Both he and his close friend, convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, were notorious, Stone noted, for confessing to crimes they committed and recanting.[8]
In 2007, allegations earned widespread publicity that Jeffrey Dahmer, arrested in Wisconsin in 1991 after killing more than a dozen men and boys, was also named as a suspect in Adam's murder. He was living in Miami Beach at the time Adam was murdered, and two eyewitnesses placed him at the shopping mall on the day Adam was abducted. One of the witnesses claimed to have seen a strange man walking into the toy department where Adam was abducted. The other said that he saw a young, blond man with a protruding chin throw a struggling child into a blue van and speed off. Both witnesses recognized the man they had seen as Dahmer when pictures of him were released in the newspapers after his arrest. Reports showed that the delivery shop where he worked had a blue van at the time. He preyed on young men and boys (the youngest being eight years older than Adam), and his modus operandi included severing his victims' heads. When interviewed about Adam in the early 1990s, he repeatedly denied involvement in the crime, even stating; "I've told you everything—how I killed them, how I cooked them, who I ate. Why wouldn't I tell you if I did someone else?"[9] After this rumor surfaced, John Walsh stated that he had "seen no evidence" linking his son's kidnapping and murder to Dahmer.[10]
On December 16, 2008, the Hollywood, Florida, Police Chief Chad Wagner, a friend of John, announced, with him present, that the case was now closed. An external review of the case had been conducted and police announced that they were satisfied that Ottis Toole was the murderer.[3][7][11]
Adam's kidnapping and murder prompted John to become an advocate for victims' rights. Adam's murder was among those that helped to spur the formation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).[12] As a result of his advocacy, he was approached to host the television program America's Most Wanted.
The Code Adam program for helping lost children in department stores is named in Adam's memory. The U.S. Congress passed the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act on July 25, 2006, and President Bush signed it into law on July 27, 2006. The signing ceremony took place on the South Lawn of the White House, attended by John and Revé. The bill institutes a national database of convicted child molesters, and increases penalties for sexual and violent offenses against children.[13] It also creates a RICO cause of action for child predators and those who conspire with them.[14]

In October 1983, Toole told the police that he had abducted Adam from the mall and drove for about an hour to an isolated dirt road where he decapitated him (his body was never found). Investigators lifted bloodstained carpet from his white Cadillac. But DNA testing then was not as advanced as it now, and investigators could not tell if the blood was Adam's. When a detective assigned to the case in 1994 went to order DNA testing on the bloodstained carpet from Toole's car, the carpeting and the car were found to be missing.

He didn't tell the security guard his mother was in the lamp department; he followed the older boys out the west exit into the parking lot. John and Revé believe he didn't tell the security guard about his mother, because he was a timid child and mindful of authority. Knowing him, they believe he may have been too scared to say anything.

Police believe a 17-year-old security guard asked a handful of rowdy kids who were playing video games in the toy department to leave the store. Again, based upon Revé's claim that Adam was in the store with her, investigators believed that he was grouped in with those kids, who left him alone outside the store. That was the last time he was seen.

Police simply took another look at 27 years of tips, psychic revelations, often-botched police work and a serial killer's chilling admissions and decided it was time. Time to ease the suffering of the Walsh family and time to point the finger at the man Hollywood Police Chief Chad Wagner said had been the prime suspect all along: Toole. The problem was that being a prime suspect and being proved in a court of law that one is guilty of murder are two different things.

5 Norway Schools Cancel Tests To Let Students Attend Justin Bieber Concert
By Mack Rawden 2 years ago
Some of Justin Biebers fans in the States may have started turning on the singer because of his douchey behavior, but apparently, in some parts of Europe, hes just as big as ever. In fact, in Norway, several school administrators are apparently so worried about students potentially missing important exams in order to attend his upcoming concert in Olso that theyve rescheduled all of the tests.
According to The Mirror, all five of the schools are in the Alesund region, more than two hundred miles from Oslo. Assumedly, the thought process is the aforementioned students would go on holiday with either their peers or their parents and stay in Oslo for the night, which would cause them to miss school and any of these tests. With the date changed, the students will presumably have no excuses when they take their mid-terms. Norway allows its local school districts quite a bit of wiggle room in terms of planning when tests will be given. Thus, the countrys education minister Kristin Halvorsen has already announced hes not bothered in the slightest about the cancellations. After all, the actual results are far more important than the dates anyway. Once upon a time, these were the headlines the Biebs used to create. The only negative stories about him had to do with his fans being too obsessed. Sadly, over the past few months, those tales have largely been overwhelmed by nonsense. Heres to hoping this story starts turning the momentum the other way. |

I was looking at doing my front brakes but it's a little itimadating for someone who's last brake job was on a 76 impala. If someone had a how to do list with pic's that would be great. 2003 Tahoe LT 4X4 Z71
I will be doing mine brakes in the next week or so. If someone does not beat me to it I will post picks. If you plan on doing more work on your own vehicle I suggest you pickup a haynes or chiltons manual for your vehicle. They are under $20 and have plenty of pics and torque specs you may need.
Thanks Pikey. I have a Haynes repair manual but it covers 99-06 1500, 2500 silverado and a list of 15 diffrent trucks. I found a few pic's but not enough to get it. I want to replace the brake disc and pads and just might do the calipers as well, it has 100,000 miles on it. would you replace the calipers as well?
only if the slides are frozen in place or the piston is leaking. I could post a step by step instruction now. I am having an issue locating our camera.
When I was talking about the calipers I was thinking of buying them rebuilt....I think that doing them myself is past my skill...Thanks Eric
Thanks, How will I know if they need replacing if their not leaking? They guy at the parts store sold me a brake kit that has some weird parts that I never seen before, I also bought rotors with the pads.
Those clips are what hold the pads in place. Most good brake pad sets come with them. The rubber is for the guide pins. Chances are you will not need to replace them. I don't know what the black things are. Check in your box of pads and see if they came with those clips. Don't open that bag unless you have to, then you can return it. In my opinion Calipers don't need replaced unless they leak or the piston has some kind of major surface damage. I have seen them go over 300,000 miles. I don't know why these letters are light grey! ---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ---------- Here is my quick write up on pad replacement. Break all lug nuts loose. -Jack up vehicle and support with jack stands. -I suggest doing one side at a time incase you need to use the other side as reference. -Remove two caliper bolts. I think that they are Torques head. You may need a wrench to hold the guide pins from spinning. Put the wrench just on the otherside of the caliper, There are flat spots there, you may have to move the rubber boot alittle to find them -Hang the caliper out of the way with a piece of wire, so it is not hanging on the brake line or abs wire. -The pads are removed by sliding them away from the caliper. the outside pad slides down the metal brackets toward you. The inside slides toward the motor. -pay attention to what pad came from the outside and which one came from the inside, you will use these for reference when installing the new pads -If replacing rotors remove the two large bolts that hold the caliper mount to the steering knuckle. (Probably going to need a breaker bar because these are torqued at around 225 ft.lb Before putting your new rotors on, clean with break clean to remove any coating applied during shipping. I always take a rough piece of sand paper and rough the rotor surfaces, front and back, when I worked in the garage we had seen cars come back that had some strange noises during braking, roughing the surfaces of the rotors remedied this. -Look at the caliper mounting bracket, you will see the metal slides the came in your kit, pay attention to their orientation. remove the old metal slides and install the new ones exactly how the old ones came off. Being careful to make sure they are fully seated and clipped securely in place. Look at the middle of the clip being sure that the section in fully seated. -Next, look at the bracket and locate where the caliper mounting bolts screwed in. There will be rubber boots on these pins. Give them a good pull and remove them. Clean them well with brake clean, looking for any damage on them. I always spray some brake clean into the hole with the straw and then put -After cleaning the holes and the pins. Lube them well with sil glyde. -push the pins back into the holes and make sure the rubber boots seat correctly. Slide them in and out and make sure that they move freely. -put a little sil glyde on the metal clips where the pads will ride. Not a lot, it attracts dust. Just a thin layer -remount the caliper bracket. -I always put a few washers on a wheel stud and screw a lug nut on, this is to hold the rotor in the proper position while installing the pads. -Some people install brake quite on the backside of the pads to stop any noise. most good pads come with shims already mounted, this makes the brake quite unnecessary. Some manufactures will void the warranty if you use it. -install the new pads. Sliding them into the clips just like the old ones came off. Pay attention that the wear indicator tabs are in the same location as the pads you removed. they should go in smoothly and move along the clips freely. I have actually had to file alittle off the ears of the pad to make them move correctly. make sure that the pads seat flat against the rotor and are not cocked in any way. -using an old pad put it into the caliper against the pistons and use a C-clamp to push the piston in all the way. -reinstall caliper and bolts (I put anti-seize on the threads of the bolts so they come apart next time easily. -Pump brake pedal to get the caliper tight on the pads, DO NOT DO THIS IF BOTH CALIPERS ARE NOT MOUNTED IN THEIR FINAL POSITION WITH PADS IN PLACE -remove the lug nut and washers holding the rotor in place. -install tire I will try to pull my truck apart this weekend and post pictures. I don't need pads, but I want to lube the guide pins. (bought the truck used and the rear pins were dry) I know that people have different ways of doing the job. So please don't give me crap about my method. You can just pull one caliper mounting bolt and swing the caliper upward, replace the pads and put it back together. This does not address cleaning and greasing the guide pins. I will also try to post torq specs required later. ---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ---------- Torque Specs Caliper mounting(guide pin) bolts: 80 ft-lbs Caliper mounting bracket bolts: (for 2500 model):221ft.lbs, will look up 10500 model tonight Lug nuts: 140 ft-lbs
Thanks again Pikey, Thats more info than the man. I was trying to fuigure out what held the rotors down. I had the truck up on stands last week and was trying to brake the calipers free and noticed a star type bolt so I went to sears and bought the right sockets, I hope. Again Thanks for all the info...Eric
I'll go ahead and do one next weekend when I do my pads. Mine are sitting at about 15% right now so they need new ones anyway, and I would do them this weekend, but being on call limits mods or repairs/maintenance to the truck to ones that I don't have to tear it apart to get done.

Ease of Use: We live in an age where the do-it-yourself DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), at home or in the studio, has become commonplace and affordable. Musicians in basement and professional studios now have the capability to compose, record and produce sophisticated tracks. However, up until very recently, there has still been some learning curve involved when recording guitar tracks, in particular, as the amp would need to be mic'd, or an amp simulator would need to be run into a mixer or input box, and then the musician had a huge list of DAW software to choose from, and hope that everything played nicely together. A further inconvenience was that whatever signal path and tone was chosen in the studio was not easily reproducible in a live environment. DigiDesign, now a part of Avid, has the answer with their Eleven Rack. This rack-mounted hardware is an all-in-one amp and FX modeler, as well as a complete interface to the industry-standard Pro Tools software. In addition, a complete Pro Tools LE 8 software package comes bundled right in the box, providing you an end-to-end solution for home recording. The Eleven Rack is not meant just for recording and performing with guitar, however. A mic input, complete with phantom power switch, provides a vocal input to Pro Tools as well. Further, MIDI inputs and Line inputs allow for any MIDI-enabled instrument (keyboards, synths), or line-level instrument (i.e. electronic drums, acoustic-electric guitar, etc.), to be recorded as individual tracks into Pro Tools as well. Finally, the Eleven Rack is also designed with live stage-use in mind. A footswitch and expression pedal input allows setup for live channel switching and volume/wah functionality, and similar to other amp modelers, the various guitar tones are setup in banks of 4 (labeled A1-A4, B1-B4, etc.), and displayed on a big, bright screen for easy reading on-stage. It is important to note that, due to the swiss-army knife approach of the Eleven Rack design, that there are only one or two inputs of each type provided. The Eleven Rack certainly could replace several devices in many existing home studios, and would probably be sufficient for most basic recording setups, but you cannot record, say, 8 channels of individual audio from electronic drums, for example, and assign a gain and volume to each one. To do more advanced setups and mixing, moving up to a higher-end dedicated recording interface is recommended. // 9
Sound: Amp modeling is a touchy subject with many guitar players. Many feel, and write or blog about at length, about how there lacks a certain touch sensitivity and feel to modeling, compared to playing through a tube amplifier. The initial plug-in and test of an amp simulation is where most guitar players will immediately embrace or shun any digital technology. Rest assured, the engineers at DigiDesign have made sure that Eleven Rack is among the best-of-the-best when it comes to guitar tones. It's important to note that this review was based on the Eleven Rack expansion pack, which brought the Eleven Rack up to the latest-and-greatest firmware and available tones at the time of this writing. In addition, the tones were reviewed with a Paul Reed Smith Modern Eagle Quatro Stoptail guitar, and a MacBook Pro for recording into Pro Tools. DigiDesign promotes the strength of its True-Z guitar input, which adjusts the input sensitivity and gain of the incoming signal to better match the digital technology within the Eleven Rack, and provide a more pure and transparent tone. Does it work? The tones were flat-out incredible. The first preset tone is very much like the oft-desired blue channel on the Bogner Ecstasy 101B amp head. The bass and grind hit the tone right on the money, and was a joy to play. Dialing through various tones modeled on Marshall Plexi's and JCM800's, Mesa Dual Rectifiers, and many more mainstays of the rock amp market was a blast to play. Each tone reminds one of a famous song, and inspires you to keep on playing. Further, the cleaner tones were lush, with the Fender-style tones, in particular, very reminiscent of the originals. The FX are also a joy to play. Various distortions, modulations, delays and more are available at the touch of a button, and plenty of presets are available to teach you how a particular signal chain and tone was put together. Editing is easy via the buttons on the front of the Eleven Rack, and even better, when plugged into Pro Tools the presets can be modified and saved right from the computer. // 10
Reliability & Durability: The Eleven Rack comes housed in a sturdy, rack-mounted housing with built-in rack ears. Screws also come in the box, to mount the unit to any standard rack (the Eleven Rack uses 2U of space). The connections all feel tight and high-quality, and the knobs and switches on the front and back of the unit are very tough. The power switch looks and feels like the heavy-duty ones used as power switches on many of today's amps, and clearly this has been built for extended road-use as well as studio-use. A nice touch is that, like most rack-mounted devices, there is no pesky wall-wart' for powering up the device. Simply plug the included adapter into any power strip or wall connection. Every part of the Eleven Rack seems to be designed carefully for the needs of the modern home or stage musician. // 10
Overall Impression: While, for the purposes of this review, we didn't get a chance to test Eleven Rack on-stage, it was certainly a showstopper in the home studio. While those new to Pro Tools may require a little time getting used to the layout, a book is included that teaches the basics of how to record and edit tracks. In addition, a training DVD is included that provides advanced video lessons for those wanting to learn more. We setup the included Pro Tools LE software, and then copied over the included second disc of drum beats and other samples. Within moments, we had a new session created, and had a few drum loops arranged in sequence to setup a backing track at our desired tempo. Then, we dialed in the tones we wanted on the Eleven Rack, and were recording multiple guitar tracks and takes that sounded amazing on the first try. In addition, we were able to record bass and vocals and build an entire song with just one recording interface and one laptop, with no amps or pedals! The Eleven Rack is truly a great-sounding and well-designed product, and it has already earned a permanent place in our home studio. // 10

Ease of Use: When I first got it, it didn't have the expansion pack. Even without that, getting a great amp tone out of it was very easy but once I added the expansion pack - whooaa! It really came to life. No where as many models and effects as my POD X3 but what it does have are far superior and so much easier and quicker to get the sound I'm after. Editing patched is quite simple once you get to understand how the user interface works - which doesn't take long at all. Again, much superior to the POD and the way the rotary encoder knobs change colour makes tweaking patches very quick and easy. Manual is pretty good - a couple of things that were a bit difficult to find but overall, not bad at all. Firmware version was 1.03 but now upgraded to 2.01. This is a MUST HAVE upgrade to really get the most out of the 11R. Apart from the improvements and expanded models and effects, there are scores of great user submitted patches on the 2 main user sites that need the expansion pack (2.01) to load. A bit of a pain that you have to pay for the upgrade ($99.00USD) but still worth it. Initially after reading a lot of user posts, I thought the only way to get any sort of librarian features for patches was to use Pro Tools. I use Pro Tools anyway, but it is a pain to have to fire up Pro Tools just to load a new patch plus its a little clumsy as well. Thankfully, after doing a bit of deeper Googling, I found a freeware patch librarian that allows you to load and save patches and rigs without having to use Pro Tools - well worth getting (ElevenHack). // 8
Sound: I'm using with a pair of Alesis M520 powered monitors as well as going into the effects return of a 2x12 Spider Valve combo. Sounds great through the 520's but really comes to life through the Spider Valve power amp and speakers. The high gain patches are as noisy as you would expect and no better or worse than anything else I've used but there is a very effective and easy to use noise gate which tames the hum really well. Just a note though - the default settings for the noise gate will cut off trailing notes pretty badly but once the gate settings are tweaked, it works well. The effects are fantastic! First time I've found a chorus that actually sounds like my old analogue pedal. The rest of the effects are really useful with a sensible range of controls and there are none of the really trippy (useless for 99% of the time) effects that companies like Zoom and Boss seem to love to put in. I haven't really worried about trying to copy anyones particular sound but auditioning some of the user submitted patches shows some amazingly accurate artist emulations. As I said earlier, the effects are all very useful but one thing surprised me - I have never liked any of the distortion/overdrive emulations in any of the units I've owned over the years. I have always found them to be very fizzy (especially Boss/Roland) and not enhancing the patches in any way. The 11R on the other hand has a small but very high quality range of distortion, booster and Overdrive models that I'm finding more and more use for every day. // 9
Reliability & Durability: Its bloody heavy! All steel construction with controls and switches that all have a nice, solid feel but I still think you could snap off a knob if you didn't look after it - definitely very high quality though. I would never use any high tech gear without some sort of backup including the 11R. You're asking for pain and misery if you don't have something you can switch to if/when something fails or glitches but saying that, the 11R has never given me any grief (yet!). IEC mains power cable - no wall wart power supplies here! // 8
Overall Impression: I play everything from ambient to metal but I do stick mainly with heavy rock and the 11R excels in a broad range of high gain tones that clean up nicely when you back off on the guitar volume. I've been playing for 35 years and have a fairly large range of gear for both performance and recording/production. I've owned every model of the POD range except for the current HD PODs (which I tried and didn't like) plus a couple of Zoom units, a Roland GR55, M-Audio Black Box and some Boss gear. I wished I had known about the EurekaProm modified Behringer FB-1010 MIDI foot controller earlier. As there is no dedicated foot controller for the 11R, your only option is the MIDI controllers like the FB-1010, Rocktron, Roland etc, etc. As everything apart from the Behringer unit are quite expensive, the Behringer is the most cost effective but is also stupidly hard to program and is not entirely suitable for the 11R. A company call Eureka make a prom chip that vastly improves the FB-101 for use with the 11R and makes the FB-1010 almost as good a dedicated foot controller - the best $44 I ever spent. If I ever lost the unit, I would have no hesitation in replacing it. There are some great deals around for 2nd hand 11R's so getting another at a good price wouldn't be impossible. Avid (Digidesign) have not got a great track record when it comes to customer support for the 11R and apart from the Expansion Pack, haven't made any improvements to the unit. Saying that though, there is a huge 11R user community that is a fantastic resource and should be your first place to look for info. This is the only thing that really disappoints me about the 11R. I love the sounds and how they respond to Pick dynamics just like a real amp. User interface is great and very quick to get your head around and the thing just reeks quality but overall the quality of the sounds that this unit is capable of are my favourite feature. I wanted to replace my POD X3 (which I still have a soft spot for) and tried the POD HD500 in which I was bitterly disappointed in. I thought my old POD X3 sounded much better. I also tried the Boss GT100 which had some really nice clean sounds and very impressive modulation and delay effects but its amp models really fell flat and sounded very artificial. I would have loved to personally tried the Kemper Profiling amp and the Fractal Axe FX II but as I cannot justify spending $2600 on a unit, I didn't bother. Having the ability to run 2 independent rigs in parallel like the POD X3 would have been nice but I can live without it as the existing sounds are just so good. A dedicated controller like the Line 6 FBV Shortboard would have been nice but the Eureka modified Behringer FB-1010 does pretty well. Overall, I cannot recommend the Eleven Rack highly enough. Apart from the Axe FX II and the Kemper unit, nothing comes close to it in terms of sound, versatility, usability and build quality. // 9

SingTel jumps on silver bandwagon with discounted mobile plans for seniors
In a move to cater to more seniors, SingTel on Tuesday announced postpaid mobile plans that are 20 per cent off the regular price for customers aged 55 and above.
The telco is offering its new Seniors SuperLite plan at $22.32 a month, down from $27.90 for a regular SuperLite plan, while a new Seniors Lite plan costs $31.92, down from $39.90 a month for the normal Lite plan.
Both plans come with 100 minutes of local outgoing talk time and free incoming calls. But the Lite plan comes with more mobile data to surf on 4G at 2GB instead of 100MB, as well as more bundled text messages, at 800 instead of 500. The plans apply to new sign-ups and existing customers when they renew their contracts.
SingTel noted that half of its customers aged 55 and above have signed up for mobile data plans, so it came up with the discounted plans to encourage more seniors to sign-up for such services. The telco added that based on feedback from seniors, many were worried about the costs of data plans and were unsure about how they would be charged for using mobile data.

Step 1: Materials
-Glue Stick
-Aluminum Foil
-Card paper (I used business cards)
-badge template
Step 2: Template
There's a word document with the templates on them, they should work for all windows ms office word 95 and up. I used the smaller of the two sizes. You can also change the size to your own preference.
Step 3: Building Thickness
-Cut these trackings out and glue them together.
-While the cuttings dried I placed them under some text books to ensure proper contact of the layers. -Note that I also glue sticked the template on the top layer. We will later use that image to aline the other two parts of the badge.
-Once the layers have tried you'll notice that they may not be perfectly flush with each other. Take your scissors and using one of the blades scrape the sides of the badge until they become flush. It doesn't take too much effort or force.

South East Asia December 2011 HELP!!
Joined Travelfish

Hi Guys,
I'm planning a trip for early December to Asia. I have about 25 days to play with.
My plan so far is to fly into Bangkok & visit the Similan Islands on a liveaboard for a few days & then check out Ko Raya Island too. Would you recommend Ko Raya? I don't know very much about it so if anybody can recommend any more islands close by that are worth visiting that would really help too.
I've already done Koh Tao, Phi Phi, Samui & would like to visit some different places!! I'm looking for chilled out idyllic places where you can still have a bit of a party or drink but not as full on.
From there I have all kinds of ideas and would love some input from people that may have been to these places before.
Last year I visited Bali, Lombok, Gilli Islands & Komodo, I was debating whether to head back to Indonesia for a couple of weeks & just find go with the flow, I love beaches & diving & checking out local food & meeting people. Would you say it was worth visiting Indo for a couple of weeks as I know the distances/ reliability of boats etc is a problem. Where would be do-able in a short amount of time that is similar to the Gilli's e.g. beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters.
Another option I'm looking at is going back to Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam & maybe checking out the more rural parts on motorbike?
I also fell in love with India last year & that is another option, so many ideas, so little time!!!!!
With regards to the weather/ seasons.... Could a few of the above places be eliminated as it will be pissing down with rain the whole time? : )
Thanks!#1 Posted: 3/8/2011 - 20:24

Might well be pissing down in Indonesia so you can eliminate that. Three weeks isn't very much so I'd be inclined to stay in Thailand. Weather should be good on the islands on the Andaman coast and also Big Ko Chang and its satellite islands. There's a button at the top of the page with detailed descriptions of most of the islands so you could start by having a look at that.
Why not do the rural motorbiking in Thailand as well? The Mai Hong Song Loop is a classic. If I could ride a motorbike I think I'd go up to Nong Khai and explore the road along the Thai-Lao border but you could go anywhere you like . All you have to do is look at a road map, pick a route and then check out the places you'll be passing through. It's not rocket science! Travelfish has lots of info about non beach areas of Thailand too if you dig a bit and there's also search engine you could use for posts about different places.
I think I'd start with the beach thing and then, if I had enough energy to leave my hammock, do the motorbike trip and escape the invasion of the peak season Christmas hordes.#2 Posted: 3/8/2011 - 21:50

11-inch x 4.7-inch Work Area. You have more space for big quilts, slipcovers and window treatments.
Shadow-Free Sewing. You have to be able to see what you're doing. Good lighting reduces eyestrain so you can sew for hours and not feel tired. The Horizon has 5 ultra bright LED lamps in three locations across the machine.
Double Accessory Bins Plus Upper Storage. Lots of places to store all those standard accessories.
AcuFeed System. The AcuFeed system feeds the top fabric layer in perfect sync with the bottom layer. It is effective on everything from thick quilt sandwiches to fine heirloom fabrics.
Sew Up To 1,000 Stitches Per Minute. The Horizon is fast, sewing a straight stitch up to 1,000 stitches per minute. Yet each seam is made with beautiful accuracy. Whatever speed you choose, you feel in complete control. For intricate work, there's also a slow start/stop function.
Superior Plus Feed System. Say goodbye to puckering, shifting and slipping. SFS+ is a Janome engineering exclusive. It combines a patented advance cam mechanism with unique 7-piece feed dogs that stay parallel as they move up and down to maintain constant contact with the fabric. This 'flat feed' method has always been standard on the highest level Memory Craft machines. The tradition continues with its inclusion on the Horizon.
Automatic Plate Converter (APC). Activated on three main straight stitch options to create a single round needle hole. Makes straight stitching more precise than ever.
Innovative, Patented Needle Plate Markings. More of everything: angles, needle drops, cornering guides and seam lines. Do complex measuring right under the needle.
Exact Seams Without Measuring. Simply set the Horizon's manual Cloth Guide to your seam width and save a lot of measuring and marking. It attaches to a track on the back of the bed. It is set using the convenient ruler/scale markings that go all the way up the arm. The Cloth Guide can even be used with the extra wide table (a standard accessory).
Automatic Programmable Thread Cutter. Trims tails to less than half an inch and pulls needle thread to the back.
Memorized Needle Up / Down. Save time as you go from seam to seam.
Super Stable Extension Table Is Standard. Give your project the support it needs. The Horizon's extension table fits snugly around the machine. The table is extra large for big projects. And its feet are set near the edge for super stability.
Extra Foot Pressure. It's important for the presser foot to have enough force to keep the fabric from slipping. The Horizon gives you seven levels of professional-grade pressure from which to choose.
Rigid, Die-Cast Aluminum Body. The Horizon is as solid as a rock, even when sewing at high speeds.
Adjustable Knee Lifter Is Standard. Sometimes you need both hands on the fabric when you raise the presser foot. The Knee Lifter lets you raise the needle with your knee. The handle adjusts to your most comfortable position.
Extra High Presser Foot Lifter. Easily accommodates layers of fabric.
Built-in Needle Threader. Thread your needle with the push of a button.
Lockstitch Key For Perfect Finishing. Auto thread tie-off can be programmed into stitch combinations.
High Visibility LCD Touchscreen With Stylus. Use your finger to navigate or touch the screen with the stylus.
Tactile Jog Dial. Spin forwards or backwards through your stitch choices. It's as fun as it is functional.
250 Stitches To Play With. You can choose from 250 stitches, including 11 buttonholes and three monogram fonts. The hundreds of stitches are arranged in 11 groups for easy reference. Typical groups are Heirloom, Quilt, Appliqué, Pictograph, and Play. You'll also find candlewicking, hand-look quilting, and new ribbon border stitches.
Save Your Stitches In Twenty Memory Banks. You can combine stitches on your Horizon to create original designs all your own -- up to 50 characters long. You can even program a lockstitch at the beginning and end. Twenty memory banks provide plenty of room to save them. Retrieve your stitches with ease at the touch of a button.
Pattern Stitch Length Calculation. Size decorative stitch combinations to perfectly fit a given space.
